Abstract
A system may include at least one lead, a stimulation waveform generator, and a controller. The controller may be programmed to implement a process to suggest at least one electrode to be used to stimulate the nerve root. A therapeutic window may be determined for each electrode. For each electrode determining the therapeutic window may include applying stimulation, determining a first stimulation threshold for the applied stimulation to cause a first physiological effect, determining a second stimulation threshold for the applied stimulation to cause a second physiological effect, and determining a difference between the first stimulation threshold and the second stimulation threshold, wherein the difference is the therapeutic window. The process may further include determining at electrode(s) with a minimum value for the therapeutic window, and suggesting the electrode(s) to be used to stimulate the nerve root based on the determined electrode(s) with the minimum value.
